The morning temperature of 43^o was the high for the day. It's down to 15^o now (mid-afternoon).

I'm cat sitting for a friend so have to go out in it a couple of times a day, and I'm having to get my three dogs out to take care of business when they hit the door and don't want to go. It is taking bribes to get some cooperation. One of them is wearing a post-surgery cone so can't fit through the dog door and the sliding door is almost frozen in place, so I'm taking her out into the front yard. Eventually she'll figure out we're not going out for a walk and start peeing when we go out. Today has been an adventure.
